Key Largo has three licensed mobile home communities holding 87 lots between them: Keys Ventures @ 101 with 48, Captain Jax Rv Resort with 24 and Paradise Point Mobile Home Park with 15.
Eighty-seven lots in the whole of Key Largo. There is almost certainly no more scarce mobile home market in Florida, and scarcity on ground this expensive cuts in two directions at once.

Scarcity holds the price up
Source: Florida DBPR licensed mobile home parks.
For anybody who wants to live in the Keys without paying Keys prices for a house, these eighty-seven lots are effectively the entire supply. Homes here regularly sell for multiples of what the identical home would bring on the mainland.
Which also means comparables are almost nonexistent. Three parks may go a year without a sale between them, and a valuation built from Miami-Dade closings would be badly wrong in both directions. We price from the Keys market itself where there is anything to work with, and we say plainly which sales carried the weight and how thin the evidence is.
Land pressure is the other half of the story
Small mobile home parks on land worth this much are exactly the properties that get sold and redeveloped, and the Keys have lost more of them than most places.
If your park is closing, you are not selling a home in a community any more. You are selling a home that has to leave, on somebody else’s timeline.
We handle that honestly: selling a home that has to be relocated, advertised as a home to be moved with no lot included. The buyer pays for and arranges the move, and our part is making sure they have a real transporter and a real destination before your deadline lands.
Moving a home off the Keys is a harder and more expensive job than moving one across a county, and it narrows the buyer pool. Start early. Homes sold in the last month before a park closes bring less than homes sold with time on the clock, every time.
Two things settle whether it can move at all
When it was built. The federal HUD code took effect on June 15, 1976. Florida will not permit relocating a home built before that date, and there is no workaround. We check the data plate on the first call.
Whether it is sound enough to travel. The transport company’s insurance decides that, not us, and salt air is not kind to these homes. Worn and dated sell perfectly well. Structurally unsound does not travel. If the answer is no, there is still a market for buying homes in poor condition more often than owners expect.
We produce the number first, free
Fill in the form and we will call you, ask about the home, and produce a full market analysis: whatever comparable sales exist, current competition, and a recommended list price with the reasoning written out. No obligation, and yours to keep whichever way you go.
Then judge what each option nets you, listing against a cash offer.

What it costs
A flat $2,500, paid only when the home sells. Nothing up front, nothing if it does not sell, no percentage of the price. On a Key Largo home that difference is substantial, because a percentage commission at these prices runs to many times our fee.
Thirty day agreement. Professional photography with drone coverage, a written listing in English and Spanish, syndication to twelve platforms, buyer screening, negotiation and park approval handled for you, and a written performance report every week. That is the process we follow.
Closings are handled entirely online.
If you are buying rather than selling, what we have listed right now is on My State MLS. Statewide rather than Keys specific, and the list changes as homes come and go.
We are licensed to broker mobile homes in Florida, and we also work mobile homes in Marathon and mobile homes in Miami.
